like I already said, lots of my friends don't know how to set up an ftp server, but they do know how to activate file sharing with ICQ. Why is it much simpeler, well:On Wed, Oct 23, 2002 at 10:46:01AM +0200, Mattias Campe wrote:File transfer:[...][...]File sharing:
All of these are nice ideas, but I think jabber should stay focused on
messaging. While simple 1:1 file transfer can be seen as some special
form of sending a message (it's just a huge binary message), full-scale
filesharing should (IMHO) be handled by a different protocol.
Let's try to make the best IM (or XML routing) protocol, and not replace
each and every single protocol out there on the internet.
- they don't have to worry that the other part has to know their IP
- they use a client which is started every day (versus an ftp-server)
- they don't have to make accounts (loginname + password), because they can use the roster...
just my 2 cents
